Thanks for replying.Being pretty new to linux I'm not sure in what section of
linuxconf to look,could  you point the way?
    Cox did give me all my #'s (static IP,broadcast IP,netmask IP and pri. and
secondary IP'S)I used these to setup the eth interface.

                        Thanks again,Gary Martin
